Five years ago Yiftachel (2006) called on planning theorists to focus attention on cities of the global 'South-East' where issues differ significantly from northern contexts - which currently inform much planning theory work. This article asks if any such new directions have emerged in this period. It first reviews recent writings on socio-political and material conditions in these cities and suggests a set of assumptions to inform thinking about planning in these regions. It then identifies and assesses new strands of planning thought (some with older roots), and considers the project of taking forward planning theory-building in the global South-East
